Yeah Jim and IB mentioned it. Jim chuckled. Cohen did not. Cohen also said Sankey would have our back on such shenanigans.
SEC commish on our side? What is happening...

It's gotta be intentional, it's not like Mississippi has been to Omaha so often that "rebels" is always on the top of their tongue.
Y'all will call me a conspiracy theorist but I've noticed this rarely if ever happens when we are doing poorly. While the Ole Miss faithful May pull this stuff as jokes I believe there is an ulterior motive to some extent. Ride the coattails of our success and create confusion and publicity. For the uneducated they see rebels and will tie this success with the rebel name and brand. It's dirty PR at its best. If this was done by the Omaha group as a joke though I really hope Cohen lays in to them and someone(s) get a pink slip.

There's no way that could have been an accident or by mistake. There are only 8 teams there, and they should and do know every one of them. And I don't buy the notion of Ole Miss grads working for ESPN or TD Ameritrade either ... they're not smart enough, and ESPN doesn't sell French fries. It has to be a horrible joke.
I literally got on the board see if there had been any sightings of “Mississippi Bulldogs” type souvenirs. Welp...
Yep. The Final Four hats the NCAA gave them in Lexington said "Mississippi" and not "Mississippi State".
Speaking of...I'm almost 100% certain I got this picture off of here. Either way I thought this would make a good addition to the thread.

Ole Miss WANTS us to be confused with them
Every time one of their ******* students or alums say or do something stupid (rather common occurrence), om honks come on here and proclaim that we shouldn't laugh at and mock them, because the country thinks we're ALL like that....and that's how om likes it.
If you look back at history, OLE MISS IS THE FLAGSHIP OF JIM CROW. After the Civil war, there were many bitter feelings against America for destroying slavery. However, many enlightened Southerners wanted to give full enfranchisement to the African-Americans and help bring them full equality under the law. However, Ole Miss professor LQC Lamar helped bring about the end of reconstruction, and drafted the 1890 Constitution that put Mississippi blacks back into de-facto slavery. Other southern States saw what Ole Miss did, and copied them.
JQZ George was another Ole Miss alum and professor who laid the foundation for the South's Jim Crow. From a recent New York Times article:
....the biggest argument involved George Hall, named after James Zachariah George, a United States senator who historians say helped lay the foundation for Jim Crow by placing a clause in the State Constitution requiring that voters be able to read or understand it. The rule disenfranchised thousands of Mississippi blacks for decades, and spread to other Southern states.
Ole Miss alum James K. Vardaman openly advocated lynching.
It took nearly another century, and the U.S. 101st Airborne (who kicked Nazi butt, and later kicked Commie butt in Vietnam, and Haji butt in Iraq and Afghanistan) to come in and allow James Meredith to be enrolled.
Sadly, for decades many Mississippi State students, faculty, and administration were Vichy Bulldogs- acknowledged the leadership of Ole Miss as the Flagship of our State. The nadir of this was when many State students went up to Oxford (after an appeal by the Ole Miss students) to oppose Mr. Meredith enrolling at Ole Miss.
Fortunately, the State students saw the horror and heartbreak that follows from allowing those mush-mouthed, unibrowed, drooling windowlickers to be Mississippi's leaders.
That's why OUR State courageously defied the Ole Miss legislature and Highway Patrol, to let the basketball team play in the NCAA tournament. To fool the Ole Miss supporters, we sent the JV basketball players in one direction while the Varsity went another way to flee the State and go play for a National Championship (to be fair, how hard could it be to fool Ole Miss people?).
THE Mississippi State University has slowly but surely grown to be a beacon of light for the rest of the world, a place where people in the United States and the world can say, "So, not ALL Mississippians are a bunch of backwards, ignorant retards incapable of counting without taking off their shoes."
Ole Miss knows this- that's why they love it when we're confused with them. By bringing us down, it keeps Mississippi from becoming an educational and economic powerhouse.

During the women's Final Four, USA Today's bracketology had us listed as Mississippi. I sent them an email to correct this but it stayed that way throughout the entire tournament. Unbelievable. BTW, no other team had its name screwed up.
Y’all must have forgotten about these from 2013

Whomever or whatever group is reponsible should issue a public apology....
...... and somebody(s) butt should be in a sling if not unemployed. This is not just a frustration for us, it is, or at least is should be, intensely embarrassing for TD Ameritrade and the CWS. Omaha prides themselves for being the permanent destination for the CWS, rolling out the red carpet, and putting on a first class event. Getting one of the teams so wrong like that, and especially one that has been there 10 times, is not just unfair to that team, it really sends a message about that venue that they would foul up something so elementary and that is going to deeply offend the team. Particularly the one that will likely bring the most fans to the city this year.
Makes you wonder if TD Ameritrade/Omaha might be getting a little comfortable or entitled with their role and if they cannot get this kind of thing right then perhaps its time to give another venue a chance.

Has anyone ever seen an instance where ESPN or anyone else in the media represented UM as the bulldogs? I haven't, though, I can't say I watch UM very often. It seems pretty one-sided. Every time, I wonder what source they are using to find team mascots.
Update: The NCAA has apologized
MSU President Mark Keenum received a note today from a senior VP of the NCAA apologizing for the "Miss. State Rebels" video board error in Omahas TD Ameritrade Park during the 2018 College World Series on Saturday night. The university is very appreciative of the gesture.— Sid Salter (@sidsalter) June 18, 2018

It also means someone is manual entering "Mississippi State Bulldogs" every time they get it right. You think we'd have this stuff automated.
You would think they would have drop-down menus with all the applicable team information already there, with no manual typing. It blows my mind.
When I go to the state fair and see rampant misuse of the apostrophe on food trucks, I'm not surprised. When I see a TV network broadcasting for millions of viewers continue to make these "mistakes" over and over, it's inexcusable. Get your sheet together, ESPN.
Oh, and if it's some inside joke, keep it up. Just don't stop sending us those $40 mil checks and laying off employees.
If we had evidence that it was a "joke", then we should immediately hire the services of one Mr. Tom Mars and sue the ever living **** out of the responsible party. We might should do it regardless of whether it was a "joke" or not. Absolutely no excuse for it, regardless of circumstances.
Overreact much?
It's some low level intern that probably works for the minor league team and pays zero attention to college sports. They should be embarrassed and they should do better, but we should be able to laugh it off. Advertising that we got an apology letter over the whole thing makes us look petty.

And why is it that these "low level interns" who do such things, if that is true, never make this kind of mistake when it is anybody besides MSU? Can anyone think of a similar incident, on such a large stage in any of the 3 major sports, where not only a team's mascot nickname has been put up erroneously, but has been given the
mascot nickname of their instate rivals? I'll hang up now and wait for an answer.
Btw, continuing to "laugh it off" will result in more of these incidents. I guess it is funny to all the rest of the world outside the MSU fan base. But it is about time that our administration sends a message that it isn't funny to MSU, and it will no longer be tolerated.
At this point it has to be intentional. There is no way possible someone at the CWS made a honest mistake. How can so many different people at so many different venues and networks make the same mistake over and over? Why not Oregon State Ducks
I saved this from the NIT final four years ago. This is a little easier to understand since I guess someone simply clicked the wrong logo.

Yeah, I was thinking the intern route too. It happens so often that it doesn't really bother me, but then I don't have to put up with the Rebels on a daily basis since I don't live there.
17 that. We were #1 in football a few years ago. Our women's team played for back to back national championships. If nothing else, everyone knows Mullen left us for Florida. Our men's team played deep into the NIT, and our baseball team has walked off 3 games in this tourney. They know who the 17 we are.
You're correct.
You never see anyone putting up the Michigan State Wolverines, or the Texas Aggies....no, wait.
